Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 28/10

Timing: -5, -4, -3, 0, +1

Testing: Friday

R/R: Lately I feel like TTGP is all I can think about...

CS/Q: None right now

GTKY: What was your first car?
I had a 2005 Hyundai Elantra that was new when I got it. It met its end last year, at 10 years old, when DH and I were on our way to Montreal. Luckily, we were still in VT when the radiator cracked. We ended up spending 4 hours in Montpelier waiting for our friends who drove 2 hours out of their way to pick us up. Needless to say, we did not make it to Montreal.

Good Morning all!!!
Waking up thinking *GASP*

the week is half over!
But then realize...

I am working 7 days a week for I do not know how long. *lesigh

Month/Cycle: 29 / 23

CD/DPO: 55 / 6

Timing: -4 & O

Testing: None at the moment. I did this morning to rule out 15dpo, which obviously I know that because my temps now make sense. But I couldn't resist the peeing on things...

R/R: Actually right this second nothing. I feel pretty good. But the boss isnt in yet, and when he came in yesterday he pretty much ruined my ENTIRE day.

CS/Q: Nope. My temps are totes where they need to be, so it makes me feel better about this being actual O and 6dpo.

GTKY: What was your first car?
I had a 1990 dodge stealth. I loved that thing!!!

Squiddly · July 2016

Haha I love the camel

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 19/3

Timing: -4, -3, -2, -1

Testing: I'm not THAT crazy

R/R: Just happy to be here. Had a temp drop yesterday which googling had snow convinced me was s fallback rise. Never seen this before. But temp was high again this morning and FF gave me CH. So here I am!

CS/Q: DH and I are going away for what will be 6DPO through 10DPO. We will probably be drinking. Would you bring HPTs or wait until you get back?

GTKY: What was your first car? A 2005 Ford Focus hatchback in bright yellow. It was a graduation gift from my parents.

momtoleo · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 15/17

CD/DPO: 25/10

Timing: -4, O

Testing: still no plans. I believe AF is imminent, so will just let her come and get onto the next cycle

R/R: Just frustrated. We're heading to Ireland next month with my family and the intention all year was that I wouldn't be able to drink there. This month I got excited about (while very, very early) announcing to my parents while we were there because I figured I wouldn't be able to hide it. Now, it's just another month. Positive is that I'll be able to enjoy the pub! Of course my mom thinks that it would be lovely to have a baby conceived in Ireland. The dates don't work out at all. Sorry mom, that's not how it works.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What was your first car? I went to a boarding school and then college and grad school in a city, so I never had the need for a car until 3 years ago. Leased a Volkswagen Tiguan (which I loved). Finally bought my first car in February...a Subaru Outback which I'm saying has been my best purchase ever. Safe, great for hauling the dogs/eventual kids and the gas mileage is unbelievable. Even my husband, who was anti-wagon, is obsessed with it.

hartmich · July 2016

@yaeger07 It's ALL I think about. I swore I wouldn't do this.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 29/10

Timing: -4,-1,+1

Testing: Friday. Hurry up.

R/R: I am waffling between "don't get your hopes up, crazy" and "it can't hurt to think positive!" Truly, is there any way to even prepare for the disappointment of a BFN? Probably not.

CS/Q: Do you guys buy anything baby related this early? Or are you afraid of "jinxing" it?

GTKY: What was your first car?

1997 Mitsubishi Galant. Total grandma car.

@squiddly I would bring them but I'm super paranoid.

Edit to shrink large gif.

catem07 · July 2016

@hartmich I definitely do not buy anything baby this early and am frustrated at those who have bought stuff for me (my mom and my aunt-like neighbor).

GrabberBlue2010 · July 2016

@momtoleo - Oooooo IRELAND!!! I have always wanted to go there. Yea that would be an awesome place to announce. Or to conceive there. BUT like you said, doesn't work that way. BLAH. But i mean... yay for pub! And Vacation!

Image: https://media2.giphy.com/media/8Xzm73HHK3gBy/200.gif

@hartmich - I do not buy anything baby related at all. I have zero strength to face all the cute little stuff when AF starts each month. I did it once when we first officially started trying and after the 3rd cycle I went into a fit of rage and donated it. But man oh man @BusinessWife has a stash of dreams!!!

hezzer78 · July 2016

@squiddly I wouldn't. I don't test until at least 10DPO though.

@hartmich I haven't bought anything yet but I want to. I don't really believe in 'jinxing' anything - I'm just trying to be realistic and tell myself I'll buy those things when I actually need them.

Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD/DPO: 32/8

Timing: -3, -2, +1

Testing: Not til Friday

R/R: Not much here - just being more active today. I was a total slug yesterday and it was nice, but I'm feeling the pull to be productive again. On the TTC front, I woke up this morning to AF like cramps- so I'm sure I'm out this cycle.

I know that a lot of AF like symptoms are also early symptoms of pregnancy, but I'm not getting my hopes up here.

Next month is not very conducive to BDing - DH will be out of town on the other side of the state 3x, and I'm going to Wyoming over a weekend, so our timing will be shiz.

CS/Q: Question regarding above mentioned timing: DH and I are both over 35 so I know we need to go to an RE after 6 mos - is that 6 months or 6 cycles? Also, if a cycle is sort of a benched one (kind of like next month MAY be for us) do you count that?

GTKY: What was your first car?
1993 Toyota Corolla. It was my mom's. My brother hydroplaned on the freeway a year after I got it and totaled it

ETA: I don't know how to use parenthesis.

linzrunz · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 21/5

Timing: -3, 0

Testing: starting 10 dpo

R/R: migraine yesterday, so I got nothing done after work. Here's to hoping it stays away today and tomorrow. Tomorrow is mine and H's anniversary. We are going to head to a nearby lake and just hang out for the day.

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: What was your first car? First car that I drove when I got my license was a 99 (I think) Honda Accord. First car I bought myself was a 2001 Honda Civic.

momtoleo · July 2016

@hartmich I haven't bought anything because I'm afraid to jinx it, but oh man, I had to be held back from these adorable white skinny maternity jeans in the J. Crew outlet this past weekend. Amazing sale and the only pair they had there. I discovered a dirt mark on the back and convinced myself that was the reason I shouldn't buy them.

KirstinH88 · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 9/8 (5/4 TTCAL)

CD/DPO: 28/10

Timing: -5, -4, -3, -2, O, +1

Testing: 12 DPO (July 22). How are all my testing buddies holding off? @hartmich @yaeger07 @mandybeeslp @kycade3013 @hezzer78

R/R: Temp dropped slightly this morning (lowest post O temp. So I immediately retook my temp and it went up about .25 degrees to what my normal post O temps have been (but still a drop from yesterday). I kept the higher test because the lower one depressed me a bit and makes me think AF is on her way. (Chart below in CS)

**TW friends pregnancy** I've been tasked with the job of coming up with and running games at my friend's baby shower. I did the same thing for her first baby shower. I'm super excited for her, but this 2nd pregnancy was literally 3 months after giving birth to her first and an "oopsie" while breastfeeding/pumping. I don't get how some people get pregnant so easily while others take months and months and/or have struggles conceiving. And when she told me (back in December/January) that she was pregnant again, she said, "You're the one supposed to be pregnant, not me!"

CS/Q:

GTKY: What was your first car?

I started driving at the end of my sophomore year of high school. My mom bought me a 1990 Geo Prism (over 14 years old at the time).

I have great memories driving around everywhere in this car, but it was cursed. Or maybe I was just a horrible driver. But I got in 4 accidents (not all my fault) within the first 1 1/2 years. The last one pretty much totaled the vehicle and my mom bought me a 1997 Jeep Cherokee.

Have never been in an accident since. And ever since then, I've always had and will always have an SUV type vehicle.

berg · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD/DPO: 21/8

Timing: +2, -3

Testing: Only if AF skips town

R/R: My MIL passed away suddenly 2 weeks ago, in her home. Only 61. It's been rough to say the least. Hubs and her were BFF. Its so difficult to see him go through this. To add to the huge life changes train, the very next day (like 12 hours later) I was offered a job out of state, only about 10 minutes from where MIL went to college, so we are now relocating. She was very excited when we went up for my interview, giving us restaurants to go to, stores to look out for. She was so confident in me getting the job. It's bittersweet. I miss that crazy broad. On the plus side, it has brought his sister and him closer, which I know is making MIL smile.

CS/Q:

GTKY: Chevorlet Corsica. It was my dad's, my sister's, my brother's, my sister's again, then mine. My sister got it as a fairly new car. I think it was like a '90 and she got it in '92. I got it in '00. My sister put a coconut air freshener in that sucker when she had the first time around. My brother and I were convinced it was somewhere in there still, we just couldn't find it. But whenever it got hot that car would reek like bad coconut. The worst.

GrabberBlue2010 · July 2016

omgosh @berg so sorry for you and DH loss! That does sound very bittersweet. My thoughts and prayers out to you both for healing!

berg · July 2016

@hartmich I go back and forth ever month. I'm superstitious. So I don't want to jinx it. But I really want to tell Hubs with a Red Sox onsie. Every month I toy with it. I go on Etsy, MLB.com, etc. Every month I think well if I wait till I take a test I'll have to pay for expedited shipping. If I buy it now I'll have it to tell him right away. Every month I don't end up buying it because AF shows up before my trigger finger ccan click the mouse. Same thing is happening right now. Do I get one, do I wait? I'll probably wait.

bswishe4 · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 25/14

Timing: -4 +1

Testing:Debating... I said I wouldn't because I have for 6 months to then get upset. I keep telling myself to wait until I'm late however, its my birthday and I just really want to lol. We found out about our son on my husbands birthday 4 1/2 years ago so in my mind I would get a positive today. I realize this is in no way realistic lol.

star idk sandra bullock sandra i dont know

R/R: Super excited for Mexican food tonight and not having to cook/clean.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What was your first car? A little two door saturn. I LOVED it

GrabberBlue2010 · July 2016

@bswishe4 - Happy Birthdayyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay for Mexican food!!!!

hartmich · July 2016

@berg I'm so sorry for your loss. Sending T&P your way. And I'm having the exact same dilemma (although not a Red Sox jersey) about buying something to surprise H when (if?) we get a BFP. At the end of the day, I'm sure it doesn't really make a single drop of difference but I just can't pull the trigger.

@KirstinH88 I had a temp increase today and so I've spent tons of time stalking charts on FF, and trust me, I don't think the temps mean a whole heck of a lot at ALL. So FX it doesn't mean anything! I'm doing okay waiting... it's not that I'm necessarily dying to test because I know it's still early, I'm just dying to know in general. And I'm getting nervous.

@bswishe4 Happy birthday!!

@GrabberBlue2010 I tell myself I would hide the things.... but not sure if that would matter.

@hezzer78 I agree there's plenty of time... but SALES.

@momtoleo It's the sales that tempt me...

PepperAT · July 2016

Month/ Cycle: 12/12

CD/DPO: 23/8

Timing: -3 -2 -1 +1

Testing: there will be none of that!

R/R: Coffee is mandatory to make it though the day. There was a thunder and lightening storm going on from 1am to 7am so I didn't get much sleep. Also, I totally forgot what DPO it was today and wish I never looked.

GTKY: I didn't start driving until 26 so my first car, which didn't last long was a 2012? Malibu Max. I loved that thing until it started to die.

tamalahoops · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 15/15

CD/DPO: 28/14 dpiui

Timing: iui

Testing: if by some miracle I don't get my period today I will test tomorrow.

R/R: no spotting yet which has my hopes sky high. I am sure that my period will come today because I'm feeling very pmsy.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What was your first car? I had a gold Toyota camry covered in stickers and I loved it SO much.

@hartmich we bought a little stuffed alligator during our first medicated cycle because we were brimming with positivity. Since then we have bought a Harry potter picture book and a destiny picture book. Hopefully we didn't jinx ourselves.

PurpleRains · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 7/7 TTCAL

CD/DPO: 22/4

Timing: -5, -4, -3, -1, +1, +2

Testing: When/if AF is late.

R/R: I have been working on designing a website since last week and it’s, for the most part, DONE! Pretty happy about that, however, my step count is WAY down because I’ve been glued to my desk. Just walked to the grocery store near the college where I work for some green tea so that will help out.

I posted this gif yesterday and I can't get it out of my head

CS/Q:

GTKY: What was your first car? 1983 Toyota Corolla SR5. Y’all don’t go beating down my door because of how cool I am…

@GrabberBlue2010 gif game on point, as per usual. Tell the boss to GTFO!
@Squiddly I would wait, but that’s just me.
@momtoleo I’m holding out that you will be able to make an amazing announcement in Ireland.
@hartmich We have a few things, like cute onesies and t-shirts but that’s about it.
@hezzer78 We didn’t go until I had six cycles actively TTC.
@linzrunz Almost samesies on the CD/DPO. Happy almost Anniversary!
@KirstinH88 Well, that sucks a bunch…but you’re sweet to help her.
@berg So very sorry for your loss, dear. On the positive side, GO SOX!
@bswishe4 HAPPY, HAPPY day to you!

KirstinH88 · July 2016

@yaeger07 TTGP is all I think about too. It's exhausting on my brain.

@squiddly Welcome back to the TWW!I would not bring HPTs because I typically don't test until about 12DPO. Also, it might be nice to not have to really think about TTGP while on vacation.

@momtoleo As much as we all want to be pregnant right now, drinking in Ireland sounds really amazing.

@hartmich I'm totally experiencing those emotions right now. This whole TWW I was so positive, SS-ing like a mo-fo. Now with today's low temp, I've totally spiraled downwards and thinking that I'm out this cycle. Also, I still have all DS's previous baby stuff (clothes, crib, etc) in our "baby sister" room. And last weekend I bought a bib to surprise DH with when the time actually comes. So pretty much, if jinx-ing is a thing, I'm double, triple, and quadruple jinxed. And I wish I had FF VIP so I could do chart overlays and/or charts like mine. I really need to find a BFP chart that looks like mine right now...

@linzrunz Happy early anniversary! Hope you guys enjoy your day at the lake!

@berg I'm sorry for your and DH's loss. It is nice that you are trying to look at the bright side of the situation. And now with your new job, you will be able to be surrounded by the memory of her all the time.

@bswishe4 Happy Birthday! At 14 DPO, I say go ahead and test! Fx for a BFP.

@ahrains She is my oldest friend (meaning the person I have been friends with the longest). And she knew that we had been TTGP. I guess I can forgive the insensitive comment. I guess a lot of people who haven't experienced the struggle just aren't aware that some seemingly innocent comments can really hurt.

QUESTION: I kind of have a similar question as @hezzer78, but with a **TW loss** involved. I'm supposed to wait a year before going to the RE, but does that mean 12 months or 12 cycles? Do they count a month of NTNP due to MC towards that year? Does getting pregnant, but having a MC completely restart the clock on the year? I had my IUD removed at the end of October 2015 so do I try to see an RE in November 2016? I feel like that year mark is quickly approaching and I'm just not sure.

HLD3194 · July 2016

@KirstinH88 I plan on calling my obgyn in October (if I'm not KU by then) to make plans to see what needs to be done. When I got PG last time it took 11 months and I was ready to call and make an appointment, sadly that ended in MC. I think 12 means months not cycles and having a loss does not restart that in. We have been trying for baby #2 for 18 months and I am beyond frustrated with the process. Good luck to you!

Also I have such anxiety about calling. I don't know about you but in my mind I have this great speech planned out but when I call I always stutter and lose my train of thought. I get so flustered and I don't know why.

GrabberBlue2010 · July 2016

@ahrains

aw stahp! LOL
Gifs make me happy. What can I say. hahaha. I am totes loving your Boogie gif. I could watch it over and over. He's just so happy! Yay for your website! That is awesome! I have always wanted to be able to do that kind of stuff.

berg · July 2016

@GrabberBlue2010 @hartmich @ahrains @KirstinH88 Thanks so much ladies

NamelessAria · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 11/10 (or, ya know, 18/15 counting the months we tried but I didn't temp and chart)

CD/DPO: 37/3

Timing: -4, -1

Testing: 8DPO till 12DPO probably. **TW??** Now that I have a prescription for progesterone to take as soon as I get a positive I feel a duty to find out sooner in hopes of preventing another CP.

R/R: So I finally got my 7DPO blood work scheduled. I'm pretty excited about that because the nurse told me I should have results the same day. So that means that this time next week I'll finally know if my RPL/IF is due to a hormone problem or not. And I'll know if I'm moving to Clomid next cycle or genetic testing. But regardless of what the results are I'm at least one small step closer to answers and maybe treatments to hopefully help me get a take-home baby someday. I'm honestly far more excited right now for answers than I am for the end of the TWW when I can find out if I'm pregnant or not. Because I mean, after 18 months of TTC I'm just not really expecting anything to come of the TWW. But I'll definitely get some sort of answer with the blood work that tells me what the next steps look like. And I'm just ready to finally get started taking those steps.

CS/Q: n/a

GTKY: What was your first car? A Passat. Not new, of course. My parents found someone selling a used Passat (it was pretty old and had about 100,000 miles on it) and because of the great crash test ratings and such my parents decided it would be a good first car for me. Which, considering that no one bothered to do anything at all to teach me to drive till I was 18 and leaving for college in 2 months it was really nice to have something with the great crash test ratings. I honestly have no idea how I passed my driver's test to get my license because I really should have failed it. I had no idea what I was doing and was a horrible driver. A couple of wrecks later I finally got it all figured out. I mean I was trying my best to be a good driver I was just incredibly inexperienced and not ready to be thrown into city driving.

saralee797-2 · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 7/6

CD/DPO: 47/13

Timing: -5, -3, -1, 0, +1

Testing: No more.

R/R: Late to the game here today. I had to be in court this morning so I am late getting to the office. So much to catch up on here!

CS/Q: Nope little bit of a temp rise today but I am still certain I am out.

GTKY: What was your first car? A Saab. It was an awesome car but totally expensive to fix. I had to share with my brother when he was old enough and like a typical teenage boy he beat that car UP. My dad insisted that I get a manual car. I think it was so that no one else would be able to drive my car. I actually really love that I know how to drive one but now that I have an automatic I thank the lord every time I am in traffic.

@yaeger07 totes agree. It is ALL I think about.
@GrabberBlue2010 Glad your temps are starting to make sense!
@Squiddly I wouldn't chances of getting a BFP are pretty low until 12 DPO anyway.
@KirstenH88 Keep the faith!
@momtoleo I know it is disappointing but I think you'll enjoy Ireland so much more. I feel like 85% of my time there was spent in pubs! Have a pint for me! Don't know if you are religious but I am all about lighting candles in those cathedrals.. .can't hurt to light one in St. Pats for a BFP!
@hezzer78 I am only 32 but my doctor said if I wasn't KU within 6 months that she would refer me to someone. I also wondered the same thing. I would think it is cycles and not months. I emailed her the other day to confirm but I haven't heard back yet. Will let you know if I do. I also figure it might take a while to get in with an RE anyway so it can't hurt to book an appointment early right?
@hartmich I was originally 100% against buying anything early but then I kept reading about adorable ways in which people told there DH about the BFP and I bought a onsie. It says "you got this daddy" and has arrows that say "snap" "legs here" "head here". I thought it was cute because DH has like zero skills when it comes to babies.
@linzrunz Hope you are feeling better! Happy early Anniversary!!
@berg Sorry to hear about your MIL. Thoughts and prayers!
@ahrains Doesn't it feel great to get a big project DONE?!
@NamelessAria Excited for your bloodwork! I hope you get some answers and solutions!!!

rainbowturtles · July 2016

@yaeger07 it's all I can think about, too. All. The. Time. Planning a camping trip on way to a wedding and I had to bite my tongue when thinking "so if we have to sleep in the jeep after the wedding do you think we can still have sex?" Because I was really only thinking it for potential baby making purposes lol

@GrabberBlue2010 Glad that your chart has cleared up your actual O, tho I'm sure a step back from 15dpo to 6dpo must feel a bit like a crappy game of chutes & ladders

@Squiddly Hmmm I might bring 1 for 10dpo or not bother and just wait til you get back

@momtoleo glad you'll enjoy the pub but sorry it's not working out how you'd planned

@hartmich TW: loss....I've been through 2 losses and am still likely going onesie shopping (or something) for something to announce to DH when the time comes but I'm a bit of a "hopeless romantic"/eternal optimist (with a huge side of fear, of course, but I try not to let it win). I bought pregnancy books the first time around and don't regret that. As for other stuff, I'm not sure. I asked my mom to keep an eye out for a Doppler. Do what you feel comfortable with

@hezzer78 this might not be the popular opinion but I've gotten the run around from doctors more times than you know so if you feel you need extra help, I would not hesitate to say you've been trying for six months even if one of those months was benched. They can't audit your sex life

@linzrunz Happy anniversary!

@KristinH88 sorry you have to help with a baby shower your chart looks good to me but I'm no pro!

@berg so sorry about your MIL but congrats on the new job

@bswishe4 HAPPY Birthday and GL on holding off but fx for you!

@PepperAT I was late to start driving too!

@ahrains hooray on website being basically done!

Okay, I just mobile-bumped all that from bed and the scrolling is making me sick but that's how much I love you all lol

Month/Cycle: 1/1 TTCAL

CD/DPO: 29/possibly 15

Timing: who knows at this point

Testing: I tested again this morning just to be safe because I have another massive headache and didn't want to feel guilty for taking something for it. Stark white BFN. Could AF just get here already?!

R/R: really wish I knew what was causing all these headaches. Also, getting back into a workout routine but am very sore so an Epsom bath is in order! I'm visiting a friend who had her baby on my birthday (when I should've been around 8wks pg) but it's surprisingly not a trigger for me and she's really excited for me TTC so it will be a nice visit

CS/Q: no point, just want to start using my new thermometer!

GTKY: What was your first car?
I've always been afraid of driving. My father died in an accident when I was 3 months old. I realized I'm not as afraid of getting hurt as I am of hurting others or doing something wrong. I first started driving at around 29yo and ended up getting a red Ford Mustang 4 cylinder, can't remember the year right now, from a friend. It had a crap transmission and didn't last long but I loved cruising around with my pug lol I still hate driving tho and probably always will. My first vehicle tho, was a scooter and I still have one, and oddly, driving that doesn't scare me

MandyBeeSLP · July 2016

@bswishe4 Happy Birthday!
@hartmich I have not bought anything. When we very first started TTC DH wanted to buy this gigantic stuff triceratops from Sam's Club and at the time I said we should wait and buy it as a celebration when we got pregnant. Sadly, they don't carry it anymore and I feel kinda bad about it because it was one thing my DH was really pretty excited about.

CD/DPO: 25/11

Timing: -3, -2, +1

Testing: Sadly, probably not. Sorry @KirstinH88 I've got my FX for you July 22nd ladies though!

R/R: I had some period-like spotting yesterday that has continued today. If today doesn't turn into CD 1 I think tomorrow will be, so I will probably just move over to WTO tomorrow. I honestly wish I would just start today so I could get it over with. We are supposed to go to a theme park Friday for our 8 year anniversary and It would be a lot nicer to be on day 3 of my period than day 2. Water rides are not nearly as much fun when AF is around. Boo.

CS/Q: Nah.

GTKY: What was your first car?
I had a white '96 Kia Sephia. It was funny because when my parents bought it I was on a choir tour for 2 weeks and my mom emailed me about it. The email said they had found a really cute white cat for me for my birthday and I was super excited because I love cats. When I found out it was a typo and they meant car I was still excited, but honestly it was a little bit of a let-down because I wanted the cat.

delujm0 · July 2016

Hey all! I've been MIA for almost two weeks now, sorry about that, I missed you guys. I was visiting family for a week and then just slammed at work upon my return.

Month/Cycle: 7 (NTNP)

CD/DPO: 24/either 5 or 1 depending on whether you believe FF's dotted CH or my analysis

Timing: bad. Possibly O if I am 1dpo. Nothing if I am 5dpo.

Testing: Probably unnecessary, if I somehow make it to 14dpo (based on MY assumed O date) and my temp is still up, i'll give it a shot.

R/R: So vacation was a virtual nightmare, with DD refusing to sleep reasonably, and since she was in a PNP a foot away from our bed, if she woke up and saw us she screamed until she was brought in to sleep with us (which she has literally never done before in her life)...so there was no having sex while she was asleep in there for fear of waking her. And sneaking off during the day while DH's parents hung out with DD would be weird. but anyway, I kind of decided I'm happy getting KU while NTNP, but I don't really want to actively start trying until early 2017. Two reasons: one, I want to get back in shape first and have 6 months to myself (now that I'm not pumping anymore), and two, I believe having a newborn with an almost-3-year-old will be a lot easier than a newborn with a just-turned-2-year-old.

CS/Q: My temps have been weird...I had a few days starting on Friday where my temps were slightly elevated, enough to get CHs but I kind of think that might be related more to my weird sleep on those nights more than anything else. FF said I ovulated Friday, I was thinking it was at best Sunday, but even yesterday I was still bloated and getting some EWCM. And then this morning my temp shot WAY up and I don't seem to be bloated anymore. I really think yesterday was O day. I may never know actually, because my LPs have at best been 11 days PP due to breastfeeding, and before DD they were 14 days. So if I ovulated day 19-21 and have a 14 day LP back (reasonable now that I don't pump anymore and only BF in the evening), it will look a lot like if I ovulated day 23 and have an 11 day LP still. Who knows. Nothing is obvious. This would be a great time to get pregnant if the world wants to mess with me, because I truly WON'T actually know when I ovulated, and I JUST THIS WEEK made it back to the gym and am super excited about getting back in shape, so it seems like an ideal time to get thrown a curveball. I don't want to say that I HOPE I don't get pregnant...but I kind of hope I don't get pregnant yet. If I get pregnant while NTNP though i'll consider it a major bonus anytime it happens, because the whole TRYING thing is such a pain in the ass, I'd love to avoid having to do it again. Ideally though...I think the trying phase won't happen for at least another 5-6 cycles, and I'm perfectly happy with that.

GTKY: What was your first car? 1999 bright blue Chevy Cavalier, brand new with 16 miles on it. True Story: I literally had it until last May when I was forced to trade it in and get something more appropriate for a baby to be inside of. It still had under 100k miles on it and was in decent condition, though the A/C had just quit.

Sorry for the BFN

I am really happy you did not get triggered with your friend and you are enjoying the time spent with her! Hugs to you!! Kudos on the bumping from bed. Seriously, you are amazeballs. I would have a phone shaped hole in my wall.
@MandyBeeSLP - Noooooo!!! I am so sorry darling

@crazypt2285 Thank you for the advice. I also have anxiety about calling, but mostly because I feel like that means my body is a failure. But meh...

@NamelessAria I'm so glad that you are finally getting appointments to get the answers that you need. You definitely deserve that take home baby after everything you have been through.

@Saralee797 @rainbowturtles Thank you.

@MandyBeeSLP Oh no! I'm so sorry that you are spotting and AF is impending. Hopefully you and DH can still enjoy yourself for your anniversary.

This is my first post besides the intro, so I don't have a whole lot going on yet but here we go-
Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 18/3. I think. My cross hairs was a dotted line.

Timing: Not so great. -5 maybe? I am just re-learning my weird cycle and had no idea when O was gonna happen.

Testing: Only if I'm late.

R/R: My cycle is very irregular since my first was born, my CM was not favorable at all this month. I thought it was because I hadn't ovulated yet but then I got the cross hairs after my temp jump. I only had a very small amount of watery CM (no egg white at all) which did not correspond at all with my cross hairs on FF. Maybe it's from breastfeeding.

CS/Q: No specific questions really. Temps are sorta all over the place but I think I just need to be better at temping at the same time every morning and then I will see if it gets better this month. I am pretty sure I am out this month, I will call this a trial/learning month.

GTKY: 95 Chevy Cavalier!

Looking forward to getting to know you ladies

Edited because I forgot the gtky

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 18

Timing: -1, O

Testing: not unless AF is late

R/R: DH had the day off from work today so I decided to take the day off as well and spend it with him. We had a really good day, we slept in, ran some errands, and went out to lunch. It was super great to have a day with each other where we could just hang out and enjoy each other.

CS/Q: none

GTKY: What was your first car? 2007, dodge caliber. I ended up flipping it 4 times (NEVER swerve to miss a deer) it was totaled but it held up really well. Great first car.

Megzb510 · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 12/8

CD/DPO: 27/10

Timing:-2,0,+1ish

Testing: BFN today, I'll prolly test daily cuz I wanna be a spechul snowflake with an early BFP.

R/R: the exhaustion is nonstop and awful. I literally am too tired to do anything but eat and go to bed.

CS/Q: no need to stalk it but my current month is in green and continues to be so much higher than other months. Not sure if that means anything but I feel like it should!

@Megzb510 did you take clomid or progesterone this cycle? I had much higher temps on medicated cycles

Megzb510 · July 2016

@LadyMillil- I did take Clomid! They haven't told me I need progesterone. Thanks for the input that your temps were higher! I'll squash my unrealistic SS.

PepperAT · July 2016

@Megzb510 When I first saw your chart, I was all like "Wow, that looks amazing!", than I saw @LadyMillil comment and I remember hearing about that, but than you said you have been super tired and my hopes shot right back up for you! I am keeping everything crossed for you!
